In this updated and expanded version, About Bloody Time makes the case for menstrual revolution as an essential key to unlocking gender equality, while pointing to signs of real progress.

Thousands of women and girls shared their experience of menstruation and menopause. The results were clear. Shame. Stigma. Humiliation. Disgust. Negative attitudes are pervasive, entrenched, and harmful.

Co-written by Jane Bennett (menstrual educator) and Karen Pickering (feminist organiser) and this book digs deep into the menstrual taboo: where it exists, how it came to be and why it’s so resilient. Our culture asks women and girls to view their bodies through a prism of negativity and fear. We want to change that.

Original design by Aimee Carruthers, featuring illustrations from Michelle Pereira, Alice Lindstrom, and Lucy Fahey. Second edition edited by Rebecca Young and designed by Laura Morellon.

Each book supports the work of the Victorian Women’s Trust, Australia’s leading gender equality advocate.
